Ok I'm trying to find there this quote came from -
So long high pockets! The tall jokes are funny, but they hurt. I am thinking it's from an Audrey Hepburn movie but not sure. Anyone know? ▼
I don't know, but could it be "Top Hat", "Breakfast At Tiffenys" ,or "Charade ?
"He who sups with the devil should have a. long spoon".
I'll ask my step-dad, he might know.
"Ponder well on this point: the pleasant hours of our life are all connected, by a more or less tangible link, with some memory of the table."-Charles Pierre Monselet, French author(1825-1888)

Oh Geez! I am terrible at this! Topper? Grandaddy Long Legs? Don't ever get me on your team when it calls from remembering lines from movies, songs, etc. I CRS!!!! Never could!

Keep your mind wide open. ▼
I've even tried googling it and it's driving me crazy!! It was posted to my site and the person posting it thinks I will never figure it out. So it's a mission right now to then quote back to them another quote from the same movie so they know I know..haha
High Pockets is a character in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. -- found it by searching the web a bit, not because I remembered! Couldn't find documentation of the quote, though.
▼ Quote: Edmond O'Brien is the most likely one to have said this in this movie. Sounds like him.
"He who sups with the devil should have a. long spoon".

There is also a 1919 movie titled High Pockets... no script available, that I could find.
Maybe it's in this book??? Tall Pockets Homemade Detox Drink Cookbook
Not even the Internet Movie Database was helpful for this one. I found there was a 1919 western titled High Pockets, and a couple other movies, including The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and I Was an American Spy, had characters named "High Pockets."
The quote, however, continues to elude us.
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?
Could Mickey Rooney have said that in "Breakfast at Tiffaneys"?
"He who sups with the devil should have a. long spoon".
